Research Interests
Dr. Mills’s research program employs mixed methods to examine the cognitive, social, and linguistic resources that school-age African American children draw upon to narrate, or tell stories. The overarching goal of her research program is to develop culturally-fair assessment tools that capture the spectrum of language ability in school-age African American English (AAE)-speaking children. She directs the Child Language Ability Lab which is currently engaged in projects examining adult perceptions of narration and dialectal code-switching between African American English and Mainstream American English in school-age children.
